The age of the book is not over. No way... But maybe the age of some books is over. People say to me sometimes 'Steve, are you ever going to write a straight novel, a serious novel' and by that they mean a novel about college professors who are having impotence problems or something like that.

But it took me about twenty years to get over that question, and not be kind of ashamed about what I do, of the books I write.
